that americans are still there is not going to go away any time soon. bill: i made a comment how it just seemed to follow every conversation over the past couple of days here and a reason for that. number one the way we got out. number two losing 13 service members to a bombing with an airport to make sure they were supposed to search people. how we could allow that to happen blows our minds. the other thing is i don t know anyone on this planet who could see that video of that c-17 rolling down the runway with people trying to hang onto the side of it and falling off of it. i don t know how you can erase that out of your mind. those searing images and the memories of the last 14 days in afghanistan are something you cannot forget. dana: no. we will not forget. bill: clay travis went to fraternity houses over the weekend and they had memorials out for the 13 service members
don t think that president biden should be participating in the 9/11 speeches. no, i don t. look, i think first of all i do say with sadness because i m a believer that regardless of the policies of the president you respect the office even if you don t respect the man who is there. when a president goes to a ceremony he is there in his capacity as the president not in his personal capacity but representing the country. this is different because joe biden is the president who surrendered to the enemies who attacked us on september 11, 2001. not only did he surrender but he surrendered with dishonor. left thousands of american citizens and american permanent residents and thousands the majority of our afghan allies who fought with us in the battle behind and didn t do it by accident. he did it intentionally. he ordered that last plane to take off knowing there were americans trapped behind enemy lines and the majority of the afghans who helped us were trapped behind me lines.
for him to go to pennsylvania where the first american counter attack where the heroes of flight 93 happened is a disgrace. the president who let 13 americans die because he put the security of our troops in the hands of terrorists go to the pentagon and lay a wreath is a shambles and for a president who left americans behind enemy lines to go to ground zero. bill: he is hitting all three places this weekend. mark milley is traveling in germany. jennifer griffin left her post at the pentagon to travel with him. he was talking about the future of afghanistan. he is talking about the potential for more conflict there and the civil war. he said this, watch. military estimate is that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war. i don t know if the taliban will be able to consolidate power and establish governance. bill: general jack keane is coming up 30 minutes from now
remarks about kabul and the americans and allies still stuck there behind. general jack keane 30 minutes ago saying they need to get out soon. afghanistan could be on the path to civil war. where is afghanistan today? they are in economic basket case shut off from funding and why they re trying to legitimize themselves and reach out to countries who can help them. the other thing is, it will likely lead to a civil war because the pressure on the people in afghanistan is going to be so acute, dana and bill, that their tribal leaders and war lords will likely have to respond. bill: david spunt picks up the reporting from the state department. a lot of confusion over the weekend. what s happening, let s try to sort it out. good morning. a lot of confusion. secretary of state antony blinken on the ground right now in doha, qatar meeting officials. there is a lot of confusion and allegations surrounding the state department that the state
journal said. our friends the taliban. the quote, the white house would prefer it all go away so it can think happy things as mr. biden put it not long ago when asked about afghanistan. he can t duck the reality that his failed afghan withdrawal has put the u.s. in this precarious position. hand you the floor. thank you. first of all i m so sorry to hear about jasper. america will miss him. dana: he was a great one. i think what s happening right now is what corey mills is saying is correct, that the state department had almost nothing to do with this rescue bordering on stolen valor. joe biden s role in this situation was leaving miriam and her family behind. he said in the interview with george stephanopolous if the august 31 comes and there are still americans left in afghanistan we ll delay our departure and get them out and didn t do that and abdicated
